Tip #1: Prevent Acrylic Paint Drying on Brushes to Avoid Damage
Acrylic paint is washable with soap and water while wet but can damage brushes once dry.

Tip #2: Act Quickly to Extend Brush Life and Save Money
Clean brushes before paint dries to maintain their effectiveness and save on replacements.

Tip #3: Keep Brushes Moist During Painting
Rinse brushes between colors and lay them flat to prevent paint residue near the ferrule, preserving their shape.

Tip #4: Protect Ferrules and Handles
Avoid soaking brushes to prevent rust or damage to the ferrule and handle.
Store brushes horizontally to prevent bristle bending and maintain their shape.
